Last month’s headline was admittedly a bit tongue in cheek (see: “What ‘sustainability’ Barbie tells us about the rise of the woman chief sustainability officer”). But I did get this feedback from a lot of readers: It’s great to know that many CSOs are women. It’s nice to see, too, that Mattel made a CSO Barbie. And it’s very interesting to see that the profile of CSOs is quickly rising, up to the point that 60 of them went to Davos.
But what do chief sustainability officers actually do? And why do they matter?
